Oh believe me I know ive had lots of trucks but im just at that age (36) where i dont want something annoying the crap out of me that i have to drive every day. There is always going to be drone its just depends on what you are willing to tolerate and everyone is different... This cherry bomb vortex when on the freeway is not horrible but its still there..turn on the A/C and the radio and boom its gone... I do about 40 miles a day on the freeway and here in California thats 70mph plus with the cruise control on which is prime speed for drone. On the streets no drone what so ever just the freeways.


Just tune out v4 and problem solved :P

If you don't want to do that, I ran my black widow venom 250 with v4 and the drone isn't bad at all at 70mph, almost worse at 50mph

I’ve been running exhaust since the 70s. Until they started scavenging exhaust ( cross over) there was no drone. Unequal exhaust creates no drone. Sure you pick up a few ponies but on the street I’ll go with no drone. Nothing to me sounds better than 2 1/4 twin glass packs on a 350.

Rich7930 let us know what you think. I'm curious what it sounds like on our trucks. It sounds great on other vehicles.

Did I choose the wrong exhaust? Friday to finish off a bunch of other upgrades to my truck I had the exhaust done. The conversation started with me referencing the GM borla exhaust and ended with a true dual xpipe leading into dual borla pro xs mufflers. It sounded great when I cranked it but it didn't take long for me to realize it was too loud in the cab. The exhaust guy seems to think my camper shell is amplifying the issue. AFM is disabled below 45mph and rarely engages anyway with the heavier tires and lift. With my foot on the pedal to maintain high way speeds I get a constant noise in the cab that is just too loud. I'm not 17 anymore and believe it or not this truck is a family hauler and my 2 year old could never sleep with this constant noise. Not to mention having to blast doc McStuffins so she can hear it over the exhaust. I've considered just chalking it up to poor decisions and getting the GM borla but my exhaust was cut to accommodate the true dual so I'd have to have that fixed or replaced to get back to a single pipe. Any advice or experience. Anything I could place between the exhaust and the cab to deaden the sound? I'm open to suggestions.ee53aa046d0ccdd89ac5105452e47fb1.jpg01d571519a63f4ad80e26258b013f840.jpg

Is dual exit exhaust worth it? I think I've settled on a flowmaster delta 50 for my muffler on my 14 5.3. I'm trying to decide if I want to do the regular 3"in 3"out like the stock exhaust does or if I should get a 3"in 2.5"out dual exit exhaust to go out each side. I'm trying to decide if its worth the extra cost of the piping, time, and 2 tips instead of one.

Unfortunately, there really isn't a lot you can do at this point to curb the drone besides changing mufflers....You can possibly add another small muffler ahead of it to knock out some sound, but any of the straight through "packed" mufflers will have some drone to them

It's a costly error but I think I'm going to replace my catalytic converter and put in a GM Borla system.

Or you can go Corsa....It will be louder outside than the GM borla but quiet on the inside....Not sure if you have the 5.3 or 6.2 but they have a split rear dual kit for the 5.3L...

Question for you guys. I have the Carven exhaust with the single passenger exit. My truck has a 5/7 drop and I need to dump the exhaust before the axle.

Any direct experience with the volume change from exiting out the back to dumping under the truck? I know it's usually louder, but how bad?

NONE!...IMO its the best exhaust system on the market ...It has a great sound and no interior resonance...The Sport system may be too loud for some, but I think its prefect...Cold starts are pretty loud..but after that it has a great sound...only gets pretty loud if you are in the gas hard, and even then its not annoying inside...Even in V4 mode, yes it does chopper a little but still no drone inside. Crusing down the highway is just as quiet as the factory exhaust...until you put your foot down..LOL

Its mostly just ALOT deeper sounding since the sound waves are bouncing around under the box.. I like the way it sounds dumped, but you will get more interior noise with it

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
